last attempt was on Thursday. She es-

A Manly Man

Was President, John Adams. As 8
delegate to the constitutional conven
ton he was honored as one of the
fathers of the republic. Jefferson
wrote the Declaration of Independence
but Adams secured its adoption in Q
three days debate. He had the rep
utation of having the clearest head
and firmest heart of any man in Con
gress.
That great minds do not always run
in the same channel may be proved by
the letter quoted from John Adams te
his wife, on the death of her mother
womanly mother-in-law: "Youl
mother had a clear and penetrating
understanding and a profound judg
ment, as well as an honest, a friendly
and a charitable heart. There is one
thing, however, which you will forgive
me, if l hint to you. Let me ask
rather, if you are not of my opinioni
Were not her talents and virtues toe
much confined to private, social and
domestic lifef My opinion of the du
ties of religion and morality compre
prehends very extensive connection
with society at large, and the grea,
interests of the public. The benevo
lence, charity, capacity and industry
which, exerted in private life, would
make a family, parish or a town
happy, employed on larger scale in
the support of the great principles o.
political regulations might save ma
tions and generations from want, mis-
cry and contempt" Does not the
language imply that the character
of such woman would improve the
government? Character has been de

that is why women should come once

JUDGE Hoyt took hand at reversing
Supreme Court decision, at Tacoma,
the other day, in a case involving the
assessment of property in Tacoma for
street improvement. The charter au-
thorizes levy on the valuation of adj
jacent property, which was in a case
taken up from Seattle declared uncon-
stitutional. 1t is reported that the
Judge holds that assessments for street
Improvements should be based upon
the prospective value of abutting pro-
pcrty, after the betterments are made,
which is rather novel legal PROPOSE
ton, and would require a prescience
only possessed by Supreme Judges to
successfully inaugurate. The proper
ty holder would, in a majority of cases,
pass through bankruptcy before real
izing anything on that plan, if he de-
pended on finite judgment for an adj
justment based upon the vague con-
tlngencies of town-lot boom.

evolution, could solve the conundrum

evolution, could solve the conundrum
given by the younger Daniel: ais it
possible that any substantial good to
the character is to come from the in
tcrposition of government in trying to
prevent character from bearing its
fruit?" i plead dizziness of apprehcn-
sion, but who wants to prevent char
acter from bearing its fruit? Women
surely do not. We want to see char
acter rounded and developed so it will
bear better fruit. We believe that the
character of man would be weakened
by Sinking political duties, and that
the character of woman would be
strengthened by assuming such re-
sponsibilities equally with man, and l
use this as an argument to disprove
the proposition stated by Mr.. Aver,
viz: That the duties of government
should not be devolved upon women.
| consider it the best argument that
can be adduced. Whatever improves
men will improve women; whatever
improves women elevates humanity,
and when men and women take a
more comprehensive view of this
phase of the subject, it will become APP
parent that women should not shirk
duties they owe to themselves and to
humanity, but should be co-workers
with men in every good field of labor,
whether they desire to do so or not.
Compulsory educational laws are need
ed to force the ignorant to learn to
read and write. Our young friend,
whose moral qualities we hold in high
esteem, who has thrown down the
gauntlet SO heroically, is on the anx-
ious seat, and it is only question of
time when he will be converted to the
idea that the state of political affairs
may be improved by the "even great
er intelligence than the responsibilities
of government require of men," From
the decision in regard to the intelli-
gence," which was "decisive," and
from much that was not decisive in
the able argument, We totally dissent.

THE Portland Telegram notes the
fact that the Western Traffic Associa-
ton, in anticipation of the effects of
the Interstate Commerce bill on the
lumber business, has ordered that af-
ter March l, the lumber rate from Chi
cago to Omaha shall be advanced 20
cents per 100 pounds, and to other
points west of the Missouri river cores.
pondingly. The reason assigned for
this advance is the statement that the
rates for lumber to intermediate points
can't be reduced, and hence the rates
to extreme points must be advanced.
To avoid reducing the local rates they
advance the through rates. 1t is the
application of this method to our lum-
Der business, through the Interstate
law, that is feared by our lumbermen

Alta says that since the days of the
bred Scott decision, there has been no
such excitement over q Court decision
as is now prevailing among the woman
suffrage people over the recent opinions
of Justices Langford and Turner, of
the Territorial Supreme Court. 1t is
the opinion of the best lawyers of the
Territory, especially ex-Chief Justice
B. F. Dennison, that these Justices
have transcribed their powers and
have announced opinions which can
not be sustained by the judicial decis-
ion of any State in the Union. Tele-
grams, letters and petitions are going
forward to the President, asking the
President to remove these Judges
and appoint in there places other

matter had assumed such gigantic pro-
portions, and it is barely possible that

OILY lPlA, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 1, 1857.
The Idaho Annex.

The telegraph reports that the bill
to provide for annexation of the north
ern part of Idaho which had been
passed by the House of Representa-
tives at the first session of the Forty
ninth Congress, went to the Senate at
this session and was passed by that
body with amendments. Wednesday
the House cOncurred in said amend
ments and the bill now awaits the sig
nature of the President to become a
law. The Territory as now constitut-
ed will be about $50 miles from east to
west, 200 miles from north to south
nearly 10000 square Understanding
such waters, about 5000 square miles
an area larger than all of the six
New England States; within one-tenth
as much as the combined areas of New
York and Pennsylvania. There are
over a score of Indian reservations in
the Territory, containing nearly T.
100000 acres, partly surveyed and
thirty-seven organized counties in
Guiding the four embraced in the por-
ton of Idaho annexed. The new
counties are Kootenai, Shoshone, Nez
Pelce and part of Idaho.
The bill, as passed, increases our
Territorial area by II ,999 square miles,
making it in all 81 ,179 square miles in
compact shape. The Territory is now
exceeded in area only by the States of
California, Colorado and Texas, and by
the Territories of Arizona, Dakota,
Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico and
Alaska. With its SURPRISING re-
sources, the future State of Washing
ton will be nearer the topi in popula-
ton than in square miles. 1t is capa-
BILE of sustaining as dense a population
as the States of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, which combined have an area of
86,275 square miles and a population
Tin 1880 of 7 ,4S1 ,O25.
1t is perhaps needless to state that
the STANDARD is sorry for this action
of the National Legislature. It has
never taken any stock in the extern
sion of our Territorial boundaries. We
are populous enough to become q
State without this alternative The
scope of country is altogether too
large for prosperous State or Terri
tory. Laws that are applicable to one
section are unsuited to another. Sec
tional rivalry and jealousy engender
bitterness that subordinates the public
good. Nature has established the pro-
per boundaries by lines of dcmarkation
that cannot be ignored, without a sac
rifce of that unity. of feeling and in
terest that should characterize a pros
porous commonwealth. 1t may, how
ever, suit the spoilsmen, and to their
behests the people must bow.

you said to me: If you want cup of
coffee, ii sou really want it l will buy it
for YOU Yon are the best husband in the

bands do. Why do YOU men seem to dole
things out to your wives when you fairly
throw them to the men you know? Why
don't you invite me heartily as you invite
men? Why didn't you say, Come, let's
get little coffee and something and take
me right along with you? You wouldn't
say to man, Would you like me to go
and buy you cigar?' Then why do you
always issue 70 ur little invitations to treats
in that way to me? Indeed, indeed, my
dear husband, if men would only act to-
ward their wives as heartily, cordially,
frankly as they do to the men whom they
meet, they would find cheerier companions
at home than they could at the club
